 ChrOmo orange BASIC chromaue or leau. Mir. Amerling says he knows posi- lively that nearly every color on the above list is being used by bakers and confectioners. Among the startling discoveries made recently, and they are all backed by affidavits of the ba- kers and candy-makers, who came voluntarily to the office and confessed, is that one of the largest drug houses in the city sold chromo yellow to baker, knowing the business of the purchaser, even advised it's use as a substitute for eggs. This baker says that he went to the drug house and asked for a substitute for eggs, and that sales man, afterward identified by both Mir. Amerling and the baker, advised chromo yellow, and did not say any thing of its poison one character or as to the quantity to be used. A member of the firm was present when the powder was bought. Two affidavits support this charge. This same drug-house also sells large supplies to breweries, all of which are adulterations. Glucose is the principal supply, and this, Mir. Amerling said, is the safest of the many drugs bought. There is a loaf of bread in the office of the society that has been recently analysed. The inside of the loaf is of an orange yellow, and the outside is of a greenish rusty color This, Mir. Amerling said. is the result of adulter- ated flour and poisonous yeast The flour is made in Minnesota, and the adulterant, which is known as ''stone four" comes from the limestone country about Lancaster, in this State. It is added to the flour to give it weight. Condensed milk is also adulterated, large quantities of salycic acid being found by recent analyses. Soda wat T sirups, fruit jellies and preserved goods are also found adulterated.
 In every case of noodles, and there were twenty-six samples bought. adul- teration was found. Some are not yet analysed, but the chemists are sure there is chrome yellow in the dough- Philadelphia Press.
